Michael is doing the Sprint Triathlon and chose Yorda to gain sponsorship for as he puts it "I want to help to support a smaller local charity which makes a big positive difference to the lives of many children and their families. Hopefully I can raise some awareness for challenges faced by children with severe learning disabilities and the people who support them, and encourage other people to consider fundraising for local charities which are often overlooked."

Yorda provides essential and much needed respite to families who are facing ever exhausting circumstances. All the families we work with are AMAZING they give and give and give despite their energy being sapped at every turn. Yorda exists to put a little bit of energy back in their reserves helping them to carry on being the best possible parents they can be.

A successful outcome would be raising enough for our places on our October half term playscheme which provides 240 hours of care per week to families in the school holidays/
